How to delete records with SqlCommand
This code shows you how to delete records with an SQL statement and get the number of records deleted returned back as an integer.
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["con"]);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "DELETE FROM EmployeesCopy WHERE TitleofCourtesy='Mr.'";
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
int numberDeleted = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Response.Write(numberDeleted.ToString() + " employees were deleted.<br>");
// use this instead of the above line if we're in a windows form rather than an ASP.NET page
//MessageBox.Show(numberDeleted.ToString() + " employees were deleted.<br>");
con.Close();
